A BRADFORD family have lit up their home for Christmas to raise money for charity.

In what has become an annual tradition Carol Montgomery, of Haycliffe Drive, Wibsey, has again turned the switch on their festive decorations.

The lights raise money for Cancer Support Yorkshire. She said they chose that charity because it helped her dad Russell through his cancer diagnosis.

He died of cancer aged 72 in 2006 and it is also in tribute to her mother Sheila, who died in 1991 after a road accident.

RELATED: Is this Bradford's most festive house?

The charity tradition was started at the family's former home in Queensbury in 2006.

Last year she said they collected £180 and urged people to make a donation as "every penny counts".

For this year's display she said they have added some new lights, including flashing ones, and an extra tree to make it look even more spectacular.

People can either post donations through the couple's letterbox, or place it in the donation box outside.
